Chapter 136: The End of the Year
After the Ulanala clan left, Xia Yue, who was standing in the middle of the house, became the target of everyone's siege, maybe these people just wanted to vent their inner anger through the use of their tongues, but sometimes words hurt more than knives!
Wu Xiuning is not a nosy person, she has always acted according to the rule that people don't offend me, I don't offend me, and a concubine like Xia Yue, there is no more in the backyard, and there is no less than one, not to mention that she is in this way. If she is lucky enough to have a son and a half daughter, she can be regarded as having a dependence, but if she is unlucky, as an abandoned child, she is afraid that she will not even have a good life as a maid.
For such a person, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, Wu Xiuning will not be embarrassed, as for what to despise, this backyard sentient being, to put it bluntly, what difference can it make!
Of course, not everyone is so transparent!
Xia Yue, who was standing in the middle of the house, was pale at this time, she didn't expect Fu Jin to leave the scene so neatly and leave her here, but looking back, she could also understand, after all, the person she had always been loyal to wanted her life if she was scheming!
Glancing around, looking at the undisguised hostility and humiliation of everyone, Xia Yue's eyes could only see Wu Ya who retreated coldly and Wu Xiuning who had calm eyes, the attitude of these two people made her feel like a person, no wonder it was no wonder that only Wu Ya Gege and this Wu Gege lived in this backyard, they were different people, the pattern was different, and the natural results were different!
Li's disdain, everyone's exclusion and embarrassment, made Xia Yue feel drowning, the fear of dying made her feel like she was on the verge of death, and compared to Wu Ya's cold sidelines, Wu Xiuning's peaceful attitude made Xia Yue feel a sense of redemption, feeling that she was not a sinner, but a person who could stand in the sun!
Wu Xiuning didn't know what Xia Yue was thinking in her heart, she never came from the main courtyard as usual, and she was cold and indifferent when she met other people, and she never took the initiative to greet her, if someone took the initiative to greet her, although she didn't say that she would watch people cook, she also had preferences, and she was enthusiastic anyway.
The intrigue in the backyard is as always, but because of the relationship between the Wulanala clan, Yinzhen has no sign of entering the backyard, and it is the end of the year, there are too many things to be busy, and the originally restless backyard is inexplicably quiet for a while.
The weather was getting colder day by day, and after a heavy snowfall last night, the concubine who originally wanted to go out for a walk, hoping to meet Yinzhen by chance, suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sassy cold wind blowing alone.
Because of her previous success, the Wulanala clan wanted to let Xia Yue be favored two more times, in order to achieve her goal once, but unfortunately Yinzhen didn't go into the backyard and refused to see her again, so this made her panic!
It's a pity that Yin Zhen has always been a tough temper, and the things he believes are generally difficult to change, otherwise there would not be only one door that Wu Xiuning could send into the study from that day!
The Li clan wanted to fight in the ring with the Ulanala clan, but she was more practical than the Ulanala clan to consider things, since the Ulanala clan pushed the newcomer to pit herself, she, who didn't really want to push the newcomer, not only stopped, but also specially used Yuzhu's hand to leak the news to the Ulanala clan, so as to make her angry!
In the face of the battle between the two of them, Wu Xiuning's days were rare and quiet, in the past, he could only dance every three or five times, but now he can dance if he wants, but he has a rare sense of freedom.
On this day, it was another heavy snowfall, and the whole capital was like a fairy covered in silver, enchanting and beautiful, and Hongyu, who had been stopped several times, finally couldn't persuade him, and wanted to rush out with a scream!
Wu Xiuning was so noisy by him that he couldn't do anything, so he could only rely on him in the end, but before letting him go out, he had to wear the clothes he should wear, so as not to let him get carried away and catch a cold!
Wind and cold seem to be common, but sometimes it also costs people's lives, especially for children, so Wu Xiuning is very concerned about Hongyu's food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothes, food and his residence are checked every three days, and changed once every three months, in short, everything is particular, even if there is a trace of omission.
After all, in the previous life, she had seen too many methods of the Wulanala clan, and what she had seen was so terrible, what about what she hadn't seen, and the fate of Concubine De was still in front of her, she didn't want to cause irreparable results because of her negligence.
Hongyu didn't care about this, as soon as the little guy waited for his mother to let go, he rushed into the yard like a joy, and made a lot of trouble that Lily and Lilac couldn't keep up with him, Wu Xiuning looked at it, and he was helpless.
"Master, the slaves and maids will take good care of the little brother. Luwu whispered.
"I know. Wu Xiuning nodded, she had always been at ease with the people of Lanyue Xuan.
Mama Yao came in from outside, looked at Wu Xiuning standing under the eaves, and then looked at Hongyu who was accompanied by Lilac and Lily to build a snowman, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a smile.
Since she recognized Wu Xiuning as the master, she also had a long-lost sense of belonging to Lan Yuexuan. Although Yinzhen was also her master before, there is still a difference between this male master and the female master, if it has to be reused, it is just that, but there are not many places where Yinzhen can use her, which makes Yao Mama more or less frustrated, so when Yinzhen transferred Yao Mama to Wu Xiuning's side, she ignored Yinzhen's instructions and repeatedly tested Wu Xiuning, just to confirm her ability, but fortunately, Wu Xiuning has never disappointed her.
"The old slave greets the master. Seeing Wu Xiuning looking over, Mama Yao hurriedly saluted, with a respectful attitude, and was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Mama, please. Wu Xiuning noticed Mama Yao's title, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
A person like Mama Yao, if she can't convince her, she will always act with a conservative attitude, not seeking no merit but no fault, not harming you but not helping you with her heart, only when she completely recognizes you, will she take out all her skills to help you, and this is what Wu Xiuning worked hard for and wanted to get.
Her starting point is too low, even if she has the memory of the previous life, she is not as good as the noble girls specially cultivated by the nobles of the family, especially because they are rich and powerful, and there is no shortage of people at all, but she, even if she has taken a completely different path from the previous life, but this road is also full of thorns, so she needs not only her own strength, but also more useful people!
After all, the Niu Colu clan in the previous life did not have the help of Mama Yao, so she was the daughter of the four-grade ceremony, why did she control the harem, and why did she sit in the position of the queen mother, is it just because she gave birth to a good son?
No, this may be one of the reasons, but if she can't stand up, even if her son is favored again, this harem will not be handed over to her.
"Mama, do you like the soup sent today?"
"When I returned to my master, my master drank all the soup. Mama Yao didn't answer whether she liked it or not, but told Wu Xiuning that everything she asked her to send was used.
"Yes? Somehow, Wu Xiuning was very dissatisfied with this answer, she thought that she would accept it all after the time grinded, and Yinzhen probably put it down, after all, when it comes to losses, he really has nothing to lose as a big man!
"Yes. Mama Yao replied lightly, glanced at Wu Xiuning the moment she looked up, and said softly: "The master is going to the study to see the master, the old slave heard that during this time, in addition to the food sent by the master, the master has not eaten seriously for many days." ”
Even if she recognizes Wu Xiuning as the master, Mama Yao is still very concerned about Yinzhen, the old master, after all, Wu Xiuning wants to live a better life, and from a level, it depends on Yinzhen's attitude.
"Well, I see. Wu Xiuning said with a smile.
It seems that Yinzhen minds this matter more than she imagined, although Wu Xiuning doesn't understand the thoughts or opinions in a man's heart, but she knows that people who are passively calculated by others, even if they benefit, they will not be happy, this is probably a common problem of people!
Mama Yao looked at Wu Xiuning, who was drooping her eyelids, and didn't say much, her eyes touched Hongyu, who was playing happily, and turned around and walked towards the small kitchen.
Wu Xiuning looked in the direction of the front yard, her eyes were far away, and she made a decision for a long time, but before she acted, she had to smash the fat man who was rolling in the snow and sneak into the house, after all, without her, no one in this Lanyue Xuan could restrain him, and it would be bad if he let him forget his shape when he did!
Hongyu hummed and was not very happy to go back to the house, but when he heard Wu Xiuning say that he was going to visit Amma, he immediately cooperated, who had not seen Ama for several days, and the unhappiness just now was like an illusion, as if it had never appeared.
"It's still the master who has a way!" Lu Wu looked at the incomparably cooperative little brother and sighed!
Lilac and Lily glanced at each other, as long as the little brother cooperated, otherwise if the little brother was really caught in the wind and cold because of playing in the snow, they would be to blame.
On the other side of the study, Yin Zhen, who was stumped by busy official duties, had no time to think about the calculations of the Ulanala clan against her, and it was a joke for him whether he was pursued or not, and he couldn't personally hold this joke in front of others, so he could only choose to ignore it.
It is now the end of the year, and because of the turmoil of the abolished prince, the situation seems very dull, and the festive atmosphere of the past is not only not felt at all, but also permeated with a sense of depression.
Kangxi intends to reinstate the prince, but the other elder brothers and many ministers don't want to, after all, the prince has long been less popular than in the past, and finally Kangxi abolished the prince, so they have to take the opportunity to seek some welfare for themselves, after all, no one wants to be treated lightly, and the abolished prince except for Kangxi and Suo Etu and others, how can they ever look at others in their eyes.
You must know that people have a sense of revenge, and they repay grievances with virtue or something, only a few, so even if Kangxi insists, it will be difficult to reinstate the prince in a short time, as far as Yinzhen is concerned, at least it is impossible to abolish the prince this year, even if the situation is reversed, it will have to wait until next year.
"Master, Master Wu and Fourth Elder Brother ask to see!" Su Peisheng, who was guarding outside the study, suddenly reported loudly.
Yinzhen, whose thoughts were interrupted, heard that it was Wu Xiuning and Hongyu, and hurriedly ordered Su Peisheng to bring people in.
When Wu Xiuning took Hongyu's hand and walked into the study, he saw Yinzhen's calm expression and an unaffected appearance, which was relieved.
"Ama, why haven't you come to see Hongyu for so long!" Hongyu and Yinzhen are close, the rules in front of people, and the back of people is a little naughty, looking at invincibility as nothing, and pounced on people close to him when he saw them.
Yinzhen is very useful for Hongyu's closeness, even if he knows that he should correct his behavior, but when he thinks of the other children who are afraid of him when they see him, he will unconsciously connive at Hongyu.
"The concubine heard that the master was busy with official business, so it was not easy to come, but the New Year was coming soon, and Hongyu missed the master again, so the concubine took him over. Wu Xiuning said with a smile.
"Don't you want Ning'er to be a master!" Yin Zhen looked at Wu Xiuning beside her, pulled her to sit down, and whispered in her ear.
